[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our inbound is CHEC, which is a no go for 2 reasons main reasons - child doesn't speak a lick of Spanish, and is interested in math and science and they have 11% and 1% proficiency.

Our list for 5th is:
1. Latin 1
2. Latin 2
3. Basis (but not sure we would take - seems like a joyless place)
4. ITDS - also not sold on this

Plan B: wait for 6th and then lottery into Hardy, or maybe Francis if they get geometry for 8th. Or apply to St Anselms.

Plan C: move into Deal boundary in 6th.

Am i missing any other options? Kid is super super mathy, but we are looking for a well-rounded education with arts and books and sports and low tech.[/quote]

If you really have a math kid, take a harder look at BASIS (talk to current families). It's not joyless for math kids, in our experience. My kid is very happy.[/quote]

Same.

[b]Above is the answer with a mathy kid.  Latin isn’t going to cut it even if you get in which is unlikely.  You should really consider moving to the burbs.[/b]  [/quote]

This is OP, can you share more details on why Latin won't work? I was thinking we can supplement with RSM during middle school if it's really not challenging.[/quote]

PP above, weak in math and science.  Does not offer very advance math tracking.  EOTP the only school  I would recommend for STEM kid is Basis and DCI.[/quote]

Both Latin campuses have a significant portion of the 8th grade class (about 1/3) taking Geometry with the meets/exceeds on CAPE over 80%.

Can't really compare success directly with BASIS and DCI because they don't have their students take the CAPE that corresponds to the course studied.[/quote]
